He's the only patron saint in Ireland without a holiday.
A patron saint with Offaly connections could have a public holiday named in his honour.
The county council in Donegal is asking the Government to either name the June Bank Holiday or a new long weekend in July after Saint Colmcille.
He's the only patron saint in Ireland without a holiday, as a February bank holiday named after Saint Brigid was added to the calendar in 2023.
Independent Councillor for Tullamore Sean O'Brien says the area of Durrow has deep connections to the saint:
